What is Peace? | Steve Beckow

(Golden Age of Gaia)

In our inquiry into peace, we start with the impossible task of defining it. (1)

Peace enters our experience as a divine state or quality. It’s more than just a feeling.

A feeling happens inside us, but we find ourselves immersed in a divine state – like peace.

I’ve had no luck trying to describe the quality of love or bliss or any other divine state. Instead how I know them is from their impact on me.

Higher-dimensional love has me be social. I want to share my love. It’s natural to want to do that because, at a very deep level, I know that love must flow. I’ll feel it as it passes through me, up from the heart and out to the world.

Higher-dimensional bliss has me feel insular. I just want to be. I want to let go of all personality, ego, desires. I want for nothing else than to enjoy the bliss. But bliss itself? I have not a word for it.

Abundance, mastery, confidence, the same.

But if you think of it, how would you define vanilla? Chocolate? Coffee? Only in terms of something else – fruity, nutty, etc. Not in terms of themselves.

Higher-dimensional peace has me feel certain, present, rock-solid, stripped of all defenses. As long as I don’t betray it (and the same can be said for love, I recall), it will be my strong defense.

I feel relaxed. If I were to watch it, I think I’d find that tension in the body eases, allowing for an increase in awareness.

I asked my co-creative partner to give me an experience of peace right now so I can write about it.

Immediately everything emotional and mental began to sssslllooowwww down. My heartbeat was now steady – no flutters, no sudden gasps for breath.

I have absolutely nothing going on in this space. I knew this space as “purity” in my Xenia experience. Michael commented:

“What you have discovered … is the yearning [for] innocence, [for] the sweetness and, yes, the purity that the Mother has filled you with, with her tsunami [of love].” (2)

It lay underneath all vasanas (or core issues), trauma, upsets, resentments, and judgments. In reality I experienced myself without all the overburden. And that is all. There I am waiting, underneath all the mental refuse.

My native intelligence can arise here in peace. Fear does not reach here.

Interesting…..

Now I feel joy, tapering into bliss.

This is the space of peace. Michael said:

“And we do not mean an absence of war. We mean the presence of peace as you [Steve] have been describing it.” (3)

In other words, peace as a higher-dimensional state which has no 3D correlate that I can relate to to find words for!

Peace is a world apart from simply the end of war. We can have brief experiences of it as long as we’re in 3/4D, but a permanent experience awaits Ascension to the higher realms.

(2) Of it Michael said:

“What you have done is you have journeyed to the depths of your soul, to the depths of your core. …

“And you have discovered, not lack, not criticism, not error, but beauty. Underneath the dross is the full beauty, the power, the gentleness, the sweetness of who you are. …

“What you have discovered … is the yearning [for] innocence, [for] the sweetness and, yes, the purity that the Mother has filled you with, with her tsunami [of love]. And inside the purity is clarity, is love and so you have reached a deeper level, a higher level, a broader level of understanding.

“And it is not merely an intellectual understanding. It is heart wisdom. And, in that, it allows you to proceed in a gentler way, not in a way where you feel you have your finger in the dam or you are pushing the river the other way.

“So you are in the early stages of truly, not falling in love, but truly being not only in love but Being Love.” (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Sept. 21, 2018.)
